{"product_id":"portraits-of-absence-fabiano-alborghetti-9781771832007","title":"Portraits of Absence: Volume 39","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePortraits of Absence\u003c\/i\u003e is poetry of witness, of unflinching eyewitness accounts of atrocities--the devil's definition of humanity. Fabiano Alborghetti's words, unfolding with machine-gun hiccoughs and staccato rhythms, spaces where the dead drop and the living fall, weeping, are tactile, palpable, sonnets of wreckage and ruin. Consider him a 21st-century Wilfred Owen or Siegfried Sassoon, with even less reticence before Horror than either of those Great War Poets. Alborghetti is an essential voice, a cry out-of-the-wilderness of our own bad, mad, sad hearts. We are lucky to have such a courageous Cassandra; we are damned that he has so much Terror to report to us. These are magnificent, impressive lyrics, unforgettable in their heart-tearing, barbed-wire-laced, gung-ho Sorrow.--George Elliott Clarke, Parliamentary\/Canadian Poet Laureate (2016-17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabiano Alborghetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771832002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771832007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Guernica Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Fabiano Alborghetti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486016385279,"sku":"9781771832007","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59ed02b8-10cc-4746-9758-4fa2f27ddd52.jpg?v=1778053110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portraits-of-absence-fabiano-alborghetti-9781771832007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
